Cervical cancer is a malignant disease that remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality among women in the world. In Indonesia, only 5% of women of reproductive age screen for cervical cancer. 76.6% of cervical cancer patients are detected with the disease when they entered the advanced stage. Early detection of cervical cancer is the key intervention in the reduction of incidence and mortality of cervical cancer. Other studies reported that the awareness of women of reproductive age to do cervical cancer screening is still very low due to a lack of knowledge about cervical cancer. This study aimed to determine the correlation of knowledge and participation in early detection of cervical cancer in women in reproductive age. This study used an analytical survey with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique used incidental sampling with a total of 36 women in reproductive age. Data analysis used Chi-Square test. Statistical results showed that there was a significant correlation between knowledge of women in reproductive age about cervical cancer and participation in early detection of cervical cancer, which is p value = 0.020 ( 0.05) and coefficient of contingency (r) = 0.423. The level of closeness of the correlation is medium. Therefore, there is a need for tailored services that could improve knowledge of women in reproductive age about cervical cancer to improve participation with a view to preventing cervical cancer by early detection.

ABSTRAKMeningkatnya kejadian kanker serviks terutama disebabkan masih rendahnya perilaku wanita usia subur (WUS) untuk deteksi dini kanker serviks. Salah satu upaya pemerintah untuk mendeteksi kanker serviks secara dini adalah melalui metode inspeksi visual asam asetat (IVA). Cakupan IVA di Desa Payageli sangat rendah sebesar 2,8%, masih di bawah target nasional (80%). Tujuan penelitian: Menganalisis hubungan pendidikan dan pengetahuan dengan deteksi dini kanker serviks metode IVA pada WUS di Desa Payageli, Kecamatan Sunggal, Kabupaten Deli Serdang. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan studi analitik dengan metode potong lintang yang dilaksanakan dari bulan Februari sampai Juni 2016. Cara pemilihan sampel ialah probability sampling dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 65 orang wanita usia 20-45 tahun. Pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner yang disusun oleh peneliti dan telah diuji validitas dan reliabilitasnya. Data dianalisis dengan uji chi square. Hasil: Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara statistik faktor pendidikan dan pengetahuan berhubungan dengan deteksi dini kanker serviks metode IVA dengan nilai p0,05. Variabel pendidikan merupakan variabel yang paling dominan berhubungan dengan deteksi dini kanker serviks metode IVA. Diskusi: Rendahnya pengetahuan dapat memengaruhi WUS untuk melakukan deteksi dini kanker serviks. Kesimpulan: Peran petugas kesehatan untuk lebih aktif melakukan penyuluhan atau memberikan KIE (komunikasi, informasi, edukasi) kepada WUS tentang deteksi dini kanker serviks dengan metode IVA.Kata Kunci: IVA, kanker serviks, deteksi diniFACTORS RELATED TO EARLY DETECTION OF CERVICAL CANCER USING IVA METHOD AY PAYAGELI VILLAGE, SUNGGAL , DELI SERDANGABSTRACTThe increasing incidence of cervical cancer is primarily caused by low behavior of women of reproductive age towards early detection of cervical cancer One of the government’s efforts to detect cervical cancer early is through a visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) method. The coverage of VIA at Payageli Village is very low by 2.8%, which is below the national target of 80%. Objective: To analyze the correlation of education and knowledge with early detection of cervical cancer using VIA method in women of reproductive age in Payageli Village, Sunggal Subdistrict, Deli Serdang Regency.
